Come on people. Is this your message? You're just setting up Joe to be the comic relief because Hopey's the most humorless president since Woodrow Wilson?The competitors in the Special Olympics work hard. They're handicapped. Not "differently-abled." Handicapped. Meaning that they start at a disadvantage. And through pluck and courage, overcome those obstacles. It should be inspiring. A Triumph of the Human Spirit. The sort of thing a First Lady ought to handle. Not an occasion for low comedy and cheap late-night shots.
But now President Hopey, who did his best to toss Joe under the bus by describing him as an unfathomable nit-wit (when Joe actually made more sense about the "so-called stimulus" as he calls it than any official speechwriter), announces Joe will host the Special Olympics.
Oh, very droll. Websites are all over this, from the discreet but snarky "no comment" to the indiscreet but still snarky "Obama finds the perfect role for Biden."
How does this enhance the Special Olympics? How does this burnish Biden's reputation? Obama is a genuinely horrible person. Who makes handicapped kids the butts of his petty in-fighting jokes.
